The class that collected the most box tops for November is Thompson/Littell. Congratulations!
Our school collected a total of 283 for the month, but we know we can collect more. Remember to put them in a bag or envelope with the name of your child's teacher. Your child can drop them in the Fox Box at school.
Ways to collect Box Tops during the holidays:
• Cook your holiday meal in a Reynolds®
Bakeware Pan.
• Look for Box Tops on Annie's® baking mixes.
• Use Ziploc® storage containers for extra
holiday leftovers.
• Keep holiday party guests satisfied with
Chex Mix™ and Nature Valley™ snacks.
• Paper Mate® Pens make great stocking
stuffers!

Specials Teachers are AWESOME!!
The Isaac Fox PTO is so grateful for the energy and talents our "specials" teachers bring to our students each and every day. As a small token of our appreciation, our PTO room parent committee is randomly selecting the name of one of our super 'specials' teachers each month to award with a gift card.
We are excited to announce our November winner: Dan Keilman! Mr. Keilman is our Band Teacher at Isaac Fox. He also splits his time at Sarah Adams and May Whitney.
Our December Winner is Mrs. Chopra! Mrs. Chopra is a reading Specialist at Isaac Fox.
Thank you for all you do for our students!
5 Essentials Survey
The parent survey is to be completed by parents, guardians, or other caregivers with a child in grades pre-K through 12. The parent survey is available in English and Spanish and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. To complete the parent survey, please visit the Illinois State Board of Education website and select the language.
We need a 20% parent response rate to receive the feedback. We achieved it last year! Let's do it again!
YOU Made it happen!
Thank you for supporting Isaac Fox by going to Movie Night and the Holiday Treasures Store. Movie Night raised $1000 which will help the students going to Taft. The evening was a fun time and will help to lower the overall student cost. Yeah!
The Holiday Treasures Store brought in a whopping $2410!! That will go into the PTO budget and allow us to continue to support our school community.
Thank you! It is appreciated.
Paid Lunchroom/ Recess Supervisors REALLY Needed!
Thank you for considering!
